Ramadan Mubarak!!!!!!

kids and RamadanThe Curious George began breaking fast for Ramadan last year — with chocolate-covered bananas, of course.

(Yahoo) “It’s Ramadan, Curious George” celebrates the Muslim holiday, teaching kids about the sacred month. George attends family gatherings and accompanies his friend Kareem to a mosque to put together charity baskets, she told AFP.  At one point in the story, the playful monkey — who has also celebrated Christmas and Hanukkah — falls over while trying to put together a charity package, failing to control his hunger.

US author Hena Khan  from Rockville, Maryland,  has already written two children’s books about Islam, “but there’s something different about having Curious George, a mainstream, well-known, iconic character recognize your tradition and make you feel included.”

“It was really a reflection of the way Americans that I know celebrate and observe Ramadan, in a very simple way that’s understandable for children,” the mother of two said.
